This photo was taken outside using a two light system.

We used one light infront of her with a softbox and one between beside her at a 45 degree angle towards her end.

We shot at F-16 to darken the background and the shutter at 1/200 sec at ISO 100

Post Processing:
1) Levels by each change for RGB
2) Curves to identify the whites and blacks
3) removed blemishes and imperfections in the skin
4) smoothed the skin
5) used dodge to pop the highlights
6) Used burn to darken shadows.
7) did highlights/contrast to about 12
8) Sharpened the eyes and lips

I really love this too!! I see the line along her chest on the blouse. For me, I would possibly dodge the light coming in under her earring. I love the light coming from behind on her hair - but that one piece (under her earring) is so cool toned and the rest of the image, her makeup, hair is so warm. What a gorgeous pose, composition and makeup. I love how the one eye is not as lit without losing detail, great depth.

Great makeup in eye area, great model and pose, very nice. Nice lighting but I agree with yanko's concern about there being a shadow (certainly easy enough to fix, so no big deal).

Lovely. Btw, I'm noticing a line running along side the edge of her blouse on her chest. Is that a shadow?

I love the way the light is just showing through from behind, and that makeup and lashes are really set off the whole thing.
